"Dasha's Journal" is not particularly aimed at childminders but more for professionals working in the field of autism and parents of children with autism, although as a childminder looking after children with special needs it is interesting and informative.

The content was enlightening and has made me look at all children from a different perspective.

The writing style was helpful to the content. The print was of a good size with pages and chapters not overlong. It was light relief to have some pictures and diagrams.

I found some of the content difficult to understand even after reading several times.

I know a very small amount about autism and from this point of view it was very enlightening. It was an interesting perspective, reading as if a cat had written it and enabled me to understand and read the whole book, which I probably would have found to complex if written any other way.
